Miranda was particularly upset to hear the minister assure her from the guest gallery that he was quite willing to receive her to discuss her ministry’s plans.Oscar Puente lied -he commented- saying that he would receive me whenever I wanted. I already asked for it, as soon as I arrived at the City Hall. The government responded that it would not receive me. Today I asked again that you receive me. I can tolerate that she lies or snubs Pilar Miranda, but I will not allow her to do that to the people of Huelva, because today I am here as a representative of all”, added the mayor.
New appointment request in Puente
Today, the Huelva City Council sent a new letter to the Ministry of Transport requesting a meeting at the highest level to discuss needed improvements to the city’s rail infrastructure.
Miranda insisted that “Huelva needs the AVE and better rail connections. The people of Huelva do not have the right to suffer this delay in infrastructure. We are living in a historic moment of economic and social transformation and we cannot allow the city to not develop its full potential due to the lack of commitment from the government,” said the mayor, referring to the failures of the Council of Ministers chaired by Pedro Sánchez.
The mayor recalled violation of the minister’s commitment to visit Huelva in June. “The summer we have had with problems, breakdowns and delays is shameful. Is shameeither the treatment that Huelva is receiving. Huelva expects more from the Spanish government and we cannot continue without answers to our needs,” Miranda concluded.
